Getting Away with Schmidt

It's been such a long time since I've blogged, I almost forgot I had a blog. 'How is that possible?', you might be thinking. Well, if you've had the kind of busy life I do, you'd understand. And the most of these is my toddler. I've been busy with the beautiful baby I first made mention of when I first became aware of her. And I've stepped away from most of my projects to tend to her. And that's the reason you haven't heard from me. And putting my babies first is the right thing to do. But I am making myself blog tonight. I have other things I could be doing while she sleeps. I have paid orders to be fulfilled. But tonight this is for me. I'm taking the time to slow this weary mind of mine... and write... in an attempt to find myself again. I'm desperate to find myself amongst all that I have lost amidst the drastic changes the past few years have held for me.  I hope to find the her from before. And by "her from before" I mean...

This song (soon-to-be-accompanying album) were created from inspiration with the concept of accompaniment through life's storms, and that hope can survive when all seems lost, and that miracles can be borne of passion, even when life's odds seem impossible.  https://soundcloud.com/savvyschmidt/fray-of-hope-vocals-only-with

I've got another blog coming really soon. I have been doing some BIG things, and I can't wait to share with you all! Also, I'm bringing back some of my more POPULAR (yet, controversial (heck, why else would they be so popular?) ;-) blogs, so you can read them again. I love you, my reader. You keep me going, and when you come here to read my writings, you inspire me to keep going. You mean the world. Thank you Love and kisses Savvy xo

Holy crap... I just realized I basically migrated this past season, completely skipped the oppressive heat of the midwest  summer for the completely lovely northwest weather, and came back to see the leaves change here ... And I loved this transition... a little too much. "Look! Honkers migrating up above!" "Geese?" "No. Savvy!" ;-) I'm a silly, silly girl.. ;-) #Crazy

There's blind luck, where something positive happens out of the blue. Many times when we see people who happen to appear happy, they seem very "lucky" to us... Or are they? I'm starting an experiment to see how far a positive attitude can take me, and see if this action begets lucky happenstances... to remove the veil, and see if lucky occurances are largely controlled by the effort one might put forth in pursuing them. I'm solely going on observations I've made, and what appears to work. So, with no compass to follow, I'm shooting in the dark, and I'm just going to incorporate the most obvious traits of kindness and human acceptance I can think of. Here goes... Here is an outline of the following steps I've put together for my project. To help me remember these principles, most of them start with the letter L. To reiterate, this is for ease in using them for reference points, (and in case you want to play along). There is no projected end-po...

Like a cactus lily, blooming in unexpected terrain, my inner self leached out like thorny vines, first embracing myself, then shielding me... my brain just said, "f*ck it, you bloom, flower! Motherf*ckin' bloom!"

What's in a face? It can be everything... and nothing. Your face can be an indicator of things. It tells the world your approximate age, sometimes your gender, and sometimes your lineage. And it can hold secrets. It can show the effects of disease, or perhaps the condition of your heart by the presence of tears (...or signs that tears had recently fallen). It can signal fertility in a woman...and likewise, virility in a man. It can be as revealing as an expression. Or, more cryptic, with pupils widened in distress or great emotion. Whatever realm a person exists in, can be immediately perceived in their face.. ...and... ... it can be faked. Like an actor learning every line, every motion, and every obstacle to master, all these signs can be hidden, while false signs are put in their place. The weilders of these skills are master assett replicators. Positive attributes: enhanced, negative attributes diminished. And what cannot be dealt with easily, can just be covered up.....
